Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras' Theorem,

we have x² + (x + 2)² = (x + 4)².

=> 2x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 8x + 16

=> x² - 4x - 12 = 0

(The constants are a = -4, b = -12)

=> (x - 6)(x + 2) = 0

=> x = 6 or x = -2

The value x = -2 is rejected as side lengths cannot be negative.

Hence we have x = 6.

=> AB = 6cm, BC = 8cm, AC = 10cm.

P.S. What you see above is the full solution. You just need to type x² - 4x - 12 = 0 in the blank.

Answer:

The probability of drawing the first pink ball is \frac{3}{10}.

Because you drew that first pink ball, there are two pink balls left and the total number of balls left is nine.

Hence, the probability of drawing another pink ball after drawing the first pink ball would be:

\frac{3}{10} *\frac{2}{9} =\frac{1}{15}

When graphing a linear inequality in two variables, explain how to determine which side of the boundary line to shade. Please he
Murrr4er [49]
\ \textgreater \ means you shade the part above the line, and \ \textless \ means you shade the part under the line.

If it has an equal bar under it, like this: \leq  or \geq, then you also shade the line, by making it solid instead of dotting it.
